I know someone who achieved a modest excellence in playing the French horn in his high school days. He mastered the first movement of the Strauss Horn Concerto in F, and received a superior rating in a music educator's contest. Then he entered the school of music at the state university thinking that surely he would become the first horn immediately, but this didn't happen. At the university there were other fine horn players, one in particular. It became obvious to our friend that he would never sit in the first chair. The best he ever could do was play second or assistant first horn.
